Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Monday said his government was forced to enact an anti-mob lynching law that “ruined the social fabric” of the country after the “Ravan” party came to power at the Centre.
BJPMeanwhile, allegations that Soren is heading a corrupt government and that the “unconstitutional” mob lynching law was passed in haste in the Assembly, and is a culmination of the ruling government’s appeasement policies, reported PTI.
